Just off the exercise bike...and a question

[goal_getter1011]

Getting back on the exercise bike today 😃

I am now just hoping I cam hold onto this buzz from feeling healthy and making a change!

but my question is...breakfast!!??

Do we eat before it after we exercise? I have found that I am less motivated to exercise after I've eaten, but I also don't want to binge eat breakfast just because I have worked up an appetite???

What do people find works for them??

thanks and enjoy healthy living

If I'm doing exercise in the morning (i.e. before 10am) I will always leave breakfast 'til afterwards (although might sometimes have 1/2 banana or something). Nothing worse than eating breakfast early, doing loads of exercise to work up an appetite and not being able to eat 'til lunch !!

Split breakfast seems like a good idea, something little to get me going and stop me feeling unwell. Thanks for your help 😊

apparently you burn more calories doing exercise before breakfast however you run the risk of causing dizziness or feeling unwell, could you split your breakfast? have a little bit before you exercise and the rest after? i.e. 10g of cereal and the other 20g after? or a banana before and porridge after?

Hi, if doing exercises early morning then I dont eat til I finished doing workout..but if doing exercises much later time then I would have breakfast first then an hour and half later work out..

I like a split breakfast too if I'm exercising in the morning. Half a banana beforehand then the rest of it with some all bran afterwards, or something like that.
